When I was in elementary school, I told one of my teachers that when I was older, I wanted to travel the world and find a new country. I was very upset when she told me that she was pretty sure all the countries has already been discovered.

I used to think that people on the East Coast or other parts of the US had never heard of California. I was duly impressed when my cousins had heard of the state that I lived in. XD

When I was younger, I thought that a globe wasn't just a small model of the world, but an ACTUAL little world. Like I thought that tiny little people lived inside of it and just did the same things that we did, just at a microscopic level.

When my sixth grade class finally finished memorizing all the countries in the world, I raised my hand to ask where I could find "Orientar." My teacher was confused, until I sang the song... "We three kings from Orientar, bearing gifts we've traveled so far!" I really thought it was a place.

I used to believe that my town was the unique in the world because it was so small and I didn't see much people around there, so for this I thought that there weren't more things at the ended of the mountains and always asked Where comes the money? because my parents sometimes had and sometimes didn't have.

i was lead to believe that i used to live in texas. When my babysiter told me that i used to live there i was shocked. then i started talking to my mom about it. she told me that we had never even been there let alone lived there! i was so embarrased even tho i was about 6 or 7. :-!

what ever you want it so be baby!

I remember asking my mom once," Mom,is the statue of Liberty upside down?". She looked at me with loving incredulity. as only a mother can, and said," No, why would you ask that?",to which I answered.." Well,I always hear people saying that they went up to the feet."

She explained that the statue stands on a base,and when people speak of going up to the feet,they mean from the ground to the top of the base.

I used to belive that the world was a box and when people say your going to fall off the edge i stand still for hours.
